    Fantastically economical, but only if you're a California resident. I'm guessing there's not a huge difference between SBCC's out-of-state tuition and tuition for a four-year university. It is a wonderful experience for international students, but it's ridiculously expensive.

    Santa Barbara is very expensive but it is nicely structured around student life........ but getting care packages from home is always nice!!!!!
